However, traditional pen-and-paper store audits do not comply with the agility necessary for such situations, since it might take quite a while for the information to go from the rep performing the audit to the person responsible for correcting the issue.
A merchandising software solution is an ideal way to monitor mission-critical situations at stores. With a merchandising software solution, businesses are able to:
- Learn in real-time about mission-critical situations at stores - In-store mobile data collection with a merchandising software solution means that the information collected during the visit is uploaded to the cloud as soon as it is synchronized. This allows managers and other office-based staff to have instant access to reports on mission-critical situations and address them accordingly.
- Create a schedule of recurring visits - Issues such as frequent out-of-stocks only happen because of a lack of oversight at the store level. Effective merchandising software solutions allow creating a schedule of frequent recurring store audits in order to monitor problem locations or product lines.
- Detect trends in data - By having access to data from several recurring store audits through a merchandising software solution, management can easily run reports on such information and detect trends that can be helpful in predicting future out-of-stocks and other issues.
